Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones May Target QB In Draft
Source: Tom Orsborn, San Antonio Express-News
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones suggested Thursday he's prepared to target a quarterback in the first round of the draft if it's clear Tony Romo isn't the answer. Coach Bill Parcells ? with Jones' blessing ? benched Drew Bledsoe on Wednesday in favor of Romo. The move disappointed Jones, although he said he has confidence in Romo. "I'm disappointed at the reason we're having to make this change," Jones said. Romo will be the ninth starting quarterback for the Cowboys since Troy Aikman retired after the 2000 season. Jones said he's "consciously tried not to go to the top of the draft to get a quarterback" but added a new strategy may be needed should Romo falter.
